Trivia

Anivia is one of only three champions to have had her in-game voice changed twice. The others are Ashe and Katarina.

Her first voice over made her sound more aggressive. A video containing it can be seen here .

Her second voice over was the calmest of the three, and can be heard here .

The name Anivia is derived from Latinniveus/nivea/niveum, meaning "Snow White".

"Cryophoenix" is derived from two words: "Cryo" and "Phoenix". Cryo from the Greek word cryos meaning "cold", while the "phoenix" is a mythic creature with the power to reincarnate itself from its own ashes; the classic phoenix being a birdlike creature that is partially on fire.

The theme behind Anivia's legendary Blackfrost skin is one of the possible outcomes of the upcoming Freljord War. In this alternative future, Anivia failed to defeat the evil that was corrupting the ice and Anivia succumbed to its poison.

She bears strong resemblance to the demon Black Frost from the Shin Megami Tensei series, as he is the darkened variant of the snow fairy Jack Frost and also shares the purple and black colors of this skin.[2]
